All I know about perch and suckers is the little bit I have read on PB. As of now, there is so much forage in our lake it is crazy. The trout we stocked have grown tremendously. They dwarf the trout stocked, from the same fish truck on the same day, in the lake below ours. Now I just need to see if I can keep them alive thru a winter. I will know here in a week or two if we succeeded or failed. I am like a kid at Christmas!

EDIT: I have never tried a leech as bait. Meant to last summer and forgot.

Sorry AR, not trying to hijack your thread!!!

I am very interested in what you find on trout. I have plans for a reproducing population of wild caught Brookies in the lake I am talking about. I am also in negotiations to buy an adjoining 40 acres that has a spring/runoff fed 3.5 acre pond on it. If it works out, I have the crazy idea of Greenback Cutthroats in it.
